Occasion: Jenny's 23rd Birthday Dinner!!

New Wave Mahi-Mahi
Steamed Mahi-Mahi, crabmeat, avocado topped with Mango Salsa
I like variety so I shared 3 sushi rolls and a another dish with one other. The mango salsa did not sound too appetizing to me, but my friend wanted to order it. It was the best roll I had all night. The mango salsa did not over power the taste of the sushi, instead it enhanced it. So glad that we got this roll.

C-2 Roll

Baby Lobster, avocado and cucumber topped with shrimp tempura and drizzled with eel sauce

This was one of Jenny's favorite's roll. It was good, but I still thought the New Wave Mahi-Mahi roll was better.

Hamachi Kama
Ella doesn't eat raw fish, so she always orders something cooked. Actually, she always orders the hamachi kama, which is cooked yellowtail collar. Really good especially when dipped into the ponzu sauce. The price is reasonable here and they give a big portion. YUM!


Sexy Scallop Roll
Spicy white tuna, salmon, avocado topped with spicy chopped scallop, tobiko and scallions.
We had originally ordered this, but I think the waiter left it out, so I got to try a piece from Anita. After trying this roll I'm glad that I didn't order it because it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I really like scallops and I thought having scallops in a roll would taste really good, but it didn't thrill my tastebuds too much.


The New Legend Roll
Shrimp tempura, spicy aioli, avocado topped with seared albacore, spicy garlic sauce and scallions
A roll that I suggested we order. I love seared albacore so I wanted this. The roll was pretty good, too bad it was just a tad bit spicy. You know me and spicy food. Not too fond. But overall this roll had a good variety of things, which I like.


I forgot the name of this roll
I only ate one at most two because this was my least favorite roll. It didn't taste all that great. I think Ella ordered it because it was more cooked.
